Abaqus

From CTSWiki

We support Abaqus in WU Civil Eng on Solaris/Tru64-Alpha/Linux-AMD-Opteron

On Linux you need the Intel fortran compiler for EMT64 (two parts x386 and 64bit), which will work on AMD-Opteron, but you have to buy the current Intel fortran (ifort 9.1) compiler, to get to the 8.1 compiler which Abaqus was built with, (this also works under evaulation) sign up for the premier option at Intel to get the old version.

On Linux, if the path to the compiler in the ....6.5-4/site/abaqus_v6.env is wrong, or the user specific enviroment is wrong, you get a weird error, like

/usr/opt/intel_fce_81/lib/for_main.o(.text+0x2e): In function `main': \n : undefined reference to `MAIN__'

UEL - notes

 error 11 means you have an bad variable or array refence/size error.

UGENS - notes

  ABAQUS Error: The executable /export/local/abaqus/6.5-4/exec/standard.exe
  aborted with system error "Illegal memory reference" (signal 11).
  Please check the .dat, .msg, and .sta files for error messages if the files
  exist.  If there are no error messages and you cannot resolve the problem,
  please run the command "abaqus job=support information=support" to report and
  save your system information.  Use the same command to run ABAQUS that you
  used when the problem occurred.  Please contact your local ABAQUS support
  office and send them the input file, the file support.log which you just
  created, the executable name, and the error code.
  ABAQUS/Analysis exited with errors

  This turned out to be caused by compiler optimization, the STATEV array was never assigned data, a
  null pointer was returned.  STATEV(NSTATV)=1 fixed it.
